Please consider submitting a paper proposal for the approved PAMLA session, "Dime Novels and Pulp Fiction" (for the 2013 PAMLA Conference at the Bahia Resort Hotel, San Diego, CA: November 1-3, 2013). This session will explore the largely forgotten or ignored dime-novel--the American pulp novels of the 19th and early 20th centuries, including Westerns, detective stories, school stories, romance tales, or early science fiction. All aspects of the phenomenon of the dime-novel and later pulp fiction are fair game.

"Masking and Unmasking the Subject"

The planning committee of the Ohio Valley Shakespeare Conference seeks proposals for papers or panels from across today's theoretical and methodological landscape that engage Courtliness and Convention in the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. How do Shakespearean plays illustrate and critique early modern conceptions of conventional courtly behavior? More broadly, how do the era's plays and poems incorporate, problematize, and establish social convention – political, literary, educational, rhetorical, or otherwise? How do we understand the conventions of courtliness in today's theaters and classrooms?
